With solid sell-through rates, all genres offered in the sale performed well, including Modernism, Western art, Folk Art, and particularly Illustration. Three works by John Philip Falter, all of which were cover illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post, can be found in the Top Ten works from the sale, with Fifth Avenue setting a new world auction record for the artist, after achieving 10 times its pre-sale estimate.” PRESS CONTACT: Jaime Bernice | +1 212 636 2680| [email protected] Next Sale: Thursday, 22 May 2014, New York, American Art
